    Hello Bret<br>
    <br>
    I just tried the code snippet you provided and didn't got the <tt>NullPointerException</tt>.
    Maybe we are not testing in the same environment. Was the code
    executed in Tomcat or some other application container? (I'm
    suspecting a <tt>ClassLoader</tt> issue).<br>
    <br>
    I also noticed that your stack trace reports the <tt>NullPointerException</tt>
    at line 313, while I would have expected line 277 with the current
    source code. Does the <tt>IndexedResourceBundle</tt> class has
    local changes, or was the SIS code fetched from an other repository
    than <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/sis">http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/sis</a> or
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://github.com/apache/sis">http://github.com/apache/sis</a> ?<br>
